ODB  SO  SHB 


(TRANSLATED  FROM  THE  RUSSIAN  OF  DERZHAZIN.) 

This  Ode  is  Raid  to  have  been  translated  into  the  Tartar  and  Chinese  languages,  written  on  silk,  and  suspended  in  the 
Imperial  Palace  at  Pekin.  The  Emperor  of  Japan  had  it  translated  into  Japanese,  embroidered  in  gold,  and  hung  up 
in  the  Temple  of  Jeddo.  It  is  gratifying  to  learn  that  these  nations  hare  bestowed  such  honours  on  this  noble  com- 
position. We  believe  that  no  man,  however  powerful  his  intellect  and  sublime  his  imagination,  unacquainted  with 
Holy  Writ,  ever  did,  or  ever  will  compose  so  exalted  a  Poem.  It  abounds  with  Scriptural  allusions.  The  finest  parts 
of  the  Ode  were  written  when  the  soul  of  the  author,  perhaps  unconsciously,  was  wrapt  in  contemplation  of  passages 
in  the  Bible.  One  of  the  most  exquisite  verses  in  the  Poem  is  that  ia  which  the  poet,  fleeing  from  the  nothingness  of 
humanity,  takes  shelter  in  the  gloriously  consoling  idea  that  the  Divine  Spirit  shines  in  his  spirit.  "As  shines  the 
sunbeam  in  a  drop  of  dew."  Immediately  after  follow  the  words,  "In  Thee  I  live,  and  breathe,  and  dwell."  Is  it 
not  manifest  that  the  whole  of  this  sublimely  beautiful  passage  is  borrowed  from  Acts  xvii.  28  ? 


1  1  O  Thou  Eternal  One  ! — whose  presence  bright 

All  space  doth  occupy — all  motion  guide; 
8  Unchanged  through  time's  all  everlasting  flight. 
4      Thou  only  God  ! — there  is  no  God  beside  ! 

2  5  Being  above  all  beings  !— Mighty  One  ! 

6  Whom  none  can  comprehend,  and  none  explore; 

7  Embracing  all — supporting — ruling  o'er: — 

8  Being,  whom  we  call  "God." — I  know  no  more  1 

3  9  In  its  sublime  research  philosophy 

10  May  measure  out  the  ocean  deep — may  count 

1 1  The  sands  or  the  sun's  rays— but,  God  !  for  Thee 

12  There  is  no  weight,  nor  measure;— none  can  mount 

4  13  Up  to  Thy  mysteries  ! — Reason's  brightest  spark, 

14  Though  kindled  by  Thy  light,  in  vain  would  try 

15  To  trace  Thy  counsels  infinite  and  dark; 

16  And  thought  is  lost  ere  thought  can  soar  so  high, 

17  E'en  like  vast  moments  in  eternity  1 

5  18  Thou  from  primeval  nothingness  didst  call, 

19  First  chaos,  then  existence.     Lord,  on  Thee 

20  Eternity  had  its  fonndation  !— All 

21  Spring  forth  from  Thee  !— all  light,  joy,  harmony  ! 

6  22  Sole  Origin  !— all  life,  all  beauty,  Thine  ! 

23  Thy  word  created  all,  and  doth  create  I 

24  Thy  splendour  fills  all  space  with  rays  divine  ! — 

25  Thou  art,  and  wert,  and  shall  be  glorious  !— great ! 

26  Life-giving,  life-sustaining  Potentate  I 

7  27  Thv  claims  the  unmeasured  universe  surround; — 

28  Upheld  by  Thee,  by  Thee  inspired  with  breath  !— 

29  Thou  the  beginning  and  the  end  hast  bound, 

30  And  beautifnlly  mingled  life  and  death  ! 

8  31  As  sparks  mount  upwards  from  the  fiery  blaze, 

32  So  suns  are  born,  so  worlds  spring  forth  from  Thee! 

33  And  as  the  spangles  in  the  sunny  rays 

34  Shine  round  the  silver  morn,  the  pageantry 

35  Of  Heaven's  bright  army  glitters  in  Thy  praise  ! 

9  36  A  million  torches  lighted  by  Thy  hand, 

37  Wander,  unwearied,  through  the  blue  abyss; — 

38  They  own  Thy  power — accomplish  Thy  command, — 

39  All  gay  with  life,  all  eloquent  with  bliss  ! 

I  0  40  What  shall  we  call  them  ?— Piles  of  celestial  light  ?— 

41  A  glorious  company  of  golden  streams  ? — 

42  Lamps  of  celestial  ether  burning  bright? — 

43  Suns  lightening  sy terns  with  their  joyous  beams  ? 

44  But  Thou  to  these,  art  as  the  moon  to  night  ! 

I  I   45  Yes  !  as  a  drop  of  water  in  the  sea, 

46  All  this  magnificence  in  Thee  is  lost ! 

47  What  are  ten  thousand  worlds  compared  with  Thee  ? 

45  And  what  am  I,  then  ? — Heaven's  unumbered  host, 


I  2  49  Though  multiplied  by  myriads,  and  arrayed 

50  In  all  the  glory  of  sublimest  thought, 

51  Is  but  an  atom  in  the  balance  weighed 

52  Against  thy  greatness  ! — is  a  cipher  brought 

53  Against  infinity!     What  am   I,  then?     Nought— 

1 3  54  Nought !— But  the  effulgence  of  Thy  light  divine, 

55  Pervadading  worlds,  hath  reached  my  bosom  too  ! 

56  Yes,  in  my  spirit  doth  Thy  Spirit  shine. 

57  As  shines  the  sunbeam  in  a  drop  of  dew  ! 

I  4  58  Nought ! — but  I  live,  and  on  hope's  pinions  fly 

59  Eager  towatds  Thy  presence; — for  in  Thee 

60  I  live  and  breathe,  and  dwell;— I  lift  mine  eye 

61  E'en  to  the  throne  of  Thy  divinity. 

62  I  am,  0  God,  and  surely  Thou  must  be  ! 

I  5  63  Thou  art ! — directing,  guiding  all, — Thou  art !  — 

64  Direct  my  understanking,  then,  to  Thee; — 

65  Control  my  spirit,  guide  my  wandering  heart. 

66  Though  but  an  atom  'midst  immensity, 

1 6  67  Still,  I  am  something  fashioned  by  Thy  hand: 

68  I  hold  a  middle  rank  'twixt  heaven  and  earth, — 

69  On  the  last  verge  of  mortal  being  stand. — 

70  Close  to  the  realms  where  angels  have  their  birth; 

71  Just  on  the  boundaries  of  the  spirit-land  ! 

1  7  72  The  chain  of  being  is  complete  in  me;  — 

73  In  me  is  matter's  last  gradation  lost; — 

74  And  the  next  step,  is  spirit — Deity  ! — 

75  I  can  command  the  lightning,  and  am  dust ! — 

1 8  76  A  monarch  and  a  slave  ! — a  worm,  a  god  ! 

77  Whence  came  I  here,   and   how  ?  so   aiarvelouslv 

78  Constructed  and  conceived  ! — Unknown? — This  clod 

79  Lives  surely  through  some  higher  energy; 

80  For  from  itself  alone  it  could  not  be  ! 

1 9  81  Creator  ! — Yes  ! — Thy  wisdom  and  Thy  word 

82  Created  me  ! — Thou  Source  of  life  and  good  ! — 

83  Thou  Spirit  of  my  spirit,  and  my  Lord  ! 

84  Thy  light,  Thy  love,  in  their  bright  plentitude, 
20  85  Filled  me  with  an  immortal  soul,  to  spring 

86  O'er  the  abyss  of  Death;  and  bade  it  wear 

87  The  garments  of  eternal  day,  and  wing 

88  Its  heavenly  flight  beyond  this  little  sphere, 

89  E'en  to  its  source — to  Thee  ! — its  Author  there  ! 

2  I    90  O  thoughts  ineffable  !— 0  visions  blest  !— 

91  Though  worthless  our  conceptions  all  of  Thee, 

92  Yet  shall  Thy  shadowed  image  fill  our  breast, 

93  And  waft  its  homage  to  Thy  Deity  ! 

22  94  God  ! — thus  alone  my  lowly  thoughts  can  soar, — 

95  Thus  seek  Thy  presence — Being  wLse  and  good  ! — 

96  'Midst  Thy  vast  works,  admire,  obey,  adore  ! — 

97  And  when  the  tongue  is  eloquent  no  more. 

98  The  soul  shall  speak  in  tears  of  gratitude  .'

STOKES'S  SYSTEM  OF  MEMORY. 

FOR  THE   USE  OF  HIS  PUPILS  ONLY. 

Entered  according  to  Act  of  Congress  in  the  year  1884,  by  GEOROE  W.  JAMES,  in  the  Office  of  tJte 

Librarian  of  Congress,  at  Washington,  I>.  C. 

v  E  R  FAT^N/TEHM  o  R  Y. 

The  Association  of  Ideas,  which,  if  rightly  regulated,  may  be  made  of  immense  service  in  facilitating 
learning  by  heart,  if  carelessly  or  unskilfully  used,  will  prove  equally  misleading,  retarding,  and  prejudicial. 
The  utmost  care  should  be  taken  in  order  to  see  that  what  is  done,  is  done  well.  First,  as  far  as  possible, 
grasp  the  *neaning  of  that  which  you  are  about  to  learn,  then  try  to  fix  in  the  Memory  the  first  sentence  or 
part  of  the  first  sentence,  by  uttering  it,  and  picturing  its  meaning  at  the  same  time.  If  learning  from  print  or 
writing,  observe  the  position  and  appearance  of  the  words,  and  the  locality  of  the  sentences  also,  and  then  remov- 
ing your  eyes,  try  to  repent  from  nteutiil  sight.  You  should  not  proceed  to  the  second  sentence  till  your  mind's 
tongue  is  as  ready  as,  or  in  advance  of,  your  mind's  eye.  You  cannot  be  said  to  know  a  sentence  thoroughly 
until  you  can  repeat  it  without  the  slightest  hesitation.  In  illustration  of  what  has  been  said  as  to  the  mode 
of  committing  to  Memory,  let  us  lake  the  introductory  remarks  to  the  "Ode  to  the  Deity."  "This  Ode  is 
said  to  have  been  translated. "' — These  words  are  sufficient  to  take  upon  your  tongue  at  once — let  every  word 

j  be  fixed  thoroughly.  If  you  were  10  simply  get  the  idea,  you  might  express  it  in  a  great  many  different  ways 
— but  the  idea  is  not  sufficient,  you  want  the  precise  words.  You  might  detect  yourself  saying  "  This  Ode 
was  translated;"  if  so,  stop  yourself  at  once  by  remarking.  No  !  It  does  not  say  positively  "This  Ode  was," 
but  "This  Ode  is  said  to  have  been,"  <fcc. — and  so  on  throughout  strengthen  your  impressions  by  mental 
comments.  As  soon  as  you  have  mastered  "This  Ode  is  said  to  have  been  translated,"  attach  the  next  por- 
tion by  uttering  the  last  part  of  that  which  you  have  learned,  with  the  first  part  of  that  which  you  are  going  to 
learn  ;  ihus — "translated  into  the  Tartar  and  Chinese  languages" — and  when  you  know  this  also,  proceed  up- 
on the  same  principle  continuously,  learning  in  each  case  as  thoroughly  as  possible  before  attempting  anything 
more  ;  thus  : — "languages  written  on  silk" — "on  silk  and  suspended" — "  and  suspended  in  the  Imperial  Pal- 
aceat  Pekin."  Having  learned  this  sentence,  think  of,  or  repeat,  "atPekin,"  and  ''the  Emperor,"  together, 
thus  : — "  at  Pekin  the  Emperor;"  by  which  means  the  end  of  the  first  sentence  will  be  linked  to  the  beginning 
of  the  second,  by  reflective,  articulatory  and  vibratory  association.  Proceed  upon  the  same  principle  through- 
out, thus  -."The  Emperor  of  Japan  had  it  translated  into  Japanese" — "Japanese  embroidered  in  Gold"--"  Em- 
broidered in  (rold  and  hung  up" — ''and  hungup  in  the  Temple" — "in  the  Temple  of  Jeddo" — "  in  the  Temple  of 
Jeddoit  is  gratifying" — "it  is  gratifying  to  learn" — "to  learn  that  these  nations" — "that  these  nations  have  be- 
stowed" — "have  bestowed  such i  honors" — "such  honor  son  this  noble  composition" — "this  noble  composition  we 
believe" — "webt-lieve  that  no  man" — "thulnoman  however  powerful  his  intellect" — "powerful  his  intelled&ud 
sublime  his  imagination" — "his  imagination  unacquainted  with  Holy  Writ" — "unacquainted  with  Holy  Writ 

j  ever  did" — "  ever  did  or  ever  will  compose  so  txalted  a  poem" — "poein  it  abounds  with  Scriptural  allusions" 
—  "allusions  the  finest" — "thefinest  parts  of  the  Ode  were  written" — "were  written  when  the  soul  of  the  author" 
— "when  the  soul  if  the  author  perhaps  unconsciously" — "perhaps  unconsciously  was  wrapt  in  contemplation  of 
passages  in  the  bible" — "in  the  bible  one  of  the  most  exquisite  verses" — "one  of  the  most  exquisite  verses  in  the 
poem,  &c." — These  instructions  should  be  carried  out  most  carefully  in  order  to  test  their  efficiency,  and 
slight  modifications  may  be  afterwards  made  in  their  application  to  suit  the  peculiar  requirements  of  the  pupil. 
Not  only  should  words  and  sentences  be  thus  united,  but  paragraphs  and  chapters  also.  With  a  little  prac- 
tice the  application  of  the  plan  becomes  swift,  which  often  appears  doubtful  to  those  unused  to  its  exercise. 
Some  raise  the  objection  that  this  method  involves  much  additional  repetition ;  but  on  the  contrary,  it  saves  a 
great  deal  of  repetition— repetition  which  is  weavisome  and  useless.  The  ordinary  way  of  learning  is  almost 
entirely  by  repetition,  thus  : — "This  Ode  is  said  to  have  been  translated  into  the  Tartar  and  Chinese  langua- 
ges, written  on  silk,  and  suspended  in  the  Imperial  Palace  at  Pekin."  "This  Ode  is  said  to  have  been  trans- 
lated into  the  Tartar  and  Chinese  languages,  written  on  silk  and  suspended  in  the  Imperial  Palace  at  Pekiu." 
''  This  Ode  is  said  to  have  been  translated  into  the  Tartar  and  Chinese  languages,  written  on  silk,  and  sus- 
pended in  the  Imperial  Palace  at  Pekin, "  &c.,  &c.  Learn  poetry  upon  the  same  principle  as  prose — take  only  a 

N  few  words  upon  the  tongue  at  once — which  words  learn  thoroughly — understand,  and  as  far  as  possible  picture 
the  idea  suggested  by  them.  Link  to  the  first  sentence  the  second  ;  to  the  second,  the  third  ;  to  the  third,  the 
fourth  ;  to  the  fourth,  the  fifth  ;  to  the  fifth,  the  sixth,  £c.,  <fcc.  Do  not  leave  off  at  the  end  of  a  line,  simply 
"because  it  is  the  end  of  the  line,"  but  be  guided  by  the  "  sense."  Let  the  latter  be  your  "  general  rule,"  but 
observe  also — and  note  this  particularly — it  is  some  times  desirable  to  destroy  the  sense,  alter  the  sense,  or 
make  fresh  sense  of  the  sentences  by  reading  the  end  of  one  and  the  beginning  of  another  ;  if  by  so  doing  vibra- 
tional  Memoiy  is  secured,  or  an  intellectual  chasm  is  bridged.  For  although  the  sense  of  the  piece  may  be 
partially  destroyed  in  learning,  it  will  not  be  destroyed  in  repetition.  After  a  few  repetitions  the  associations 
by  which  a  piece  is  learned  lade  from  the  mind,  but  the  piece  itself  remains  in  perfection.  Experience  proves 
this,  which  might  otherwise  be  a  somewhat  questionable  fact.  The  succession  of  verses  may  be  remembered 
upon  the  same  principle.  Link  with  the  last  suggestive  word,  or  idea,  of  the  first  verse,  the  first  suggestive 
word  or  idea,  of  the  second  verse;  with  the  last  of  the  second  verse,  the  first  of  the  third;  with  the  last  of  the 
third,  the  first  of  the  fourth  ; — and  so  on 

The  following  application  of  the  above  suggestions  to  the  "Ode  to  the  Deity,"  if  carefully  studied,  will 
illustrate  very  clearly  that  which  I  have  endeavored  to  explain.  You  should  learn  at  least  two  or  three  verses 
of  the  Ode  upon  the  pLtn  given,  as  an  exercise,  but  merely  reading  the  illustrations  will  be  sufficient  to  enable 
you  to  understand  how  to  apply  the  principles  to  anything  else.  In  reading  the  following,  please  bear  in  mind 
that  you  are  supposed  to  learn  one  sentence  before  you  proceed  to  another.  I  advise  you  to  commit  the  whole 
of  the  Ode  to  Memory,  as  you  would  probably  consider  it  very  difficult  to  learn  in  the  ordinary  manner,  and 
if  you  succeed  with  this  you  may  be  pretty  sure  of  mastering  anything  !  "O  Thou  Eternal  One" — "0  Thou 


Eternal  One  whose  presence  bright" — "  whose  presence  bright  all  space  doth  occupy  " — "  all  space  doth  occupy, 
all  motion  guide  " — "all  motion  guide  unchanged" — (here  you  knock  out  the  stop  and  make  fresh  sense, 
which  is  this,  that  "  God  does  all  motion  guide  unchanged  ;  "  the  new  idea  being,  that  the  laws  of  motion  are 
the  same  to-da,y  as  they  were  at  the  creation;  they  are  unchanged.) 

The  object  in  making  the  two  sentences  thus  blend,  is  to  cause  vibrational  Memory.  You  will  find 
upon  repeating  the  first  two  lines  in  the  ordinary  way,  that  directly  after  you  have  uttered  the  word  "guide," 
the  word  "  unchanged  "  will  spring  up  and  will  suggest  "  Through  time's  all  everlasting  flight." — It  some- 
times happens  that  we  "break  down  "  repeatedly  at  some  particular  part  of  a  piece  of  composition,  without 
being  able  to  assign  any  cause  for  so  doing;  when  this  is  the  case,  link  the  sentences  together  as  just  shown. 

To  proceed  with  the  Ode: — We  have  reached  the  first  word  of  the  third  line,  "Unchanged" — 
"  Unchanged  through  time's  all  everlasting  flight" — "through  time's  all  everlasting  flight  Thou  only  God  " 
— "  Thou  only  God  there  is  no  God  beside  " — "  there  is  no  God  beside  Being  above  all  beings  " — Being  above 
all  beings  mighty  One  " — "  Mighty  One  whom  none  can  comprehend  " — "  Whom  none  can  comprehend  and  none 
explore" — "and  none  explore  embracing  all" — "embracing  all  supporting" — "supporting  ruling  o'er  " — 
"  ruling  o'er  being  " — Being  whom  we  call  God  ' — "'  whom  we  call  God  I  know  no  more  !  "  Now  try  to  read 
the  whole  of  the  verse  again  in  precisely  the  same  manner  as  before,  and  continue  the  remainder  of  the  poem 
in  the  same  manner  at  your  leisure. 

The  following  arrangement  will  illustrate  the  plan  suggested  for  linking  the  verses.  To  unite  to  the 
first  verse  the  second,  say  or  think  of  "  more  "  and  "  sublime  "  together,  and  so  on  : — 


To  the  1st  the  2nd 

2nd  "    3rd 

3rd  "    4th 

"       4th  "    5th 

5th  "    6th 


More  Sublime. 
Eternity — Primeval 
Potentate  Claims. 
Praise  a  Million. 
To-night— Yes. 


To  the  6th  the  7th 

"       7th  "    8th 

8th  "     9th 

"       9th  "  10th 

"      luth  "  llth 


Nought — Effulgence. 
Thou  must  be — Thou  art. 
Spirit  Land — Claims. 
It  could  not  be — Creator. 
Author — Thoughts . 


You  see  we  have  gone  through  the  Poem  upon  Mnemonical  principles  ;  but  without  using  our 
Mnemonical  Key.  The  Key  may  be  used  for  this,  however,  or  for  any  other  piece  of  poetry  or  prose,  and  may 
be  used,  too,  in  most  cases  with  immense  advantage.  The  more  clearly  we  can  see  a  thing  mentally,  the 
better  :  and  the  use  of  the  Key  aids  us  in  this. 

As  a  general  rule  for  poetry  associate  the  first  suggestive  word  or  idea  of  each  verse  with  the  prompter 
corresponding  with  the  number  of  the  verse — thus  with  the  Ode  :  please  try  to  learn  the  following: —

If  you  find  it  difficult  to  associate  the  above,  the  following  suggestions  will  aid  you.  Some  of  them 
may  appear  to  you  to  be  far  fetched  and  inappropriate;  but  remember  that  as  soon  as  you  can  form  associations 
easily  for  yourself,  you  will  probably  much  prefer  your  own  ideas — although  to  me  or  to  others  they  might 
seem  as  unsuitable  as  mine  do  to  you.

Now  try  to  rep3.it  from  memory  the  whole  of  the  verse-words  attached  to  the  prompters.     Run  them 
over  two  or  three  times,  till  you  can  give  the  word  that  goes  with  any  number  instantly,  thus  : — 


What  is  the  7th  word  ? — Answer  :  Claims! 
"         "      lJth     "  "          Million  ! 

"      3rd     "  "          Sublime  ! 


What  is  the  17th  word  ? — Answer  :  Chain  ! 

"      12th     "  "          Multiplied  ! 

"      22nd    "  "          God ! 


When  you  can  answer  this  quickly,  you  will  be  able  also  to  reply  accurately  to  the  following  questions : — 
<;  What  is  the  number  of  the  verse  that  begins  thus: — Thy  claims  the  unmeasured  universe  surround?" 
Answer  :  "The  7th!  because  the  word  Claims,  which  is  the  first  suggestive  word  in  the  line,  is  associated 
with  Key,  which  is  No.  7."  Again:  "  The  chain  of  being  is  complete  in  me  ?"  Answer:  "  The  17th!  because 
Chiin,  is  associated  with  Deck,  which  is  17;"  and  so  with  any  of  the  others.  When  you  use  prompters,  you 
will  find  it  unnecessary  to  link  the  verses  tog3ther  in  the  manner  I  showed  you  just  now.  There  are  four 
ways  of  putting  the  verse  words  upon  the  Key  :  1st,  before  learning  any  of  the  verses  ;  2nd,  after  learning  all 
the  verses  ;  3rd,  taking  one  at  a  time  just  before,  or  4th,  just  after,  learning  each  verse.  I  generally  use  the 
latter  plan;  each  verse  is  then  learned  as  far  as  possible  by  its  sense,  and  being  immediately  afterwards  placed 
upon  the  Key,  it  can  be  at  once  referred  to  and  repeated  mentally.  You  had  better  try  each  plan  and 
adopt  that  which  you  find  most  advantageous.  If  you  were  to  learn  20  verses  of  a  poem  separately  and  tried 
to  repeat  them  in  their  order,  if  one  verse  did  not  naturally  lead  to  another,  you  would  be  almost  sure  to 
omit  or  misplace  some;  but  by  placing  them  upon  the  Key  in  the  manner  I  have  described,  you  would  say 
them  throughout  without  the  slightest  difficulty.  You  had  better  try  this,  as  it  is  a  very  startling  and  most 
convincing  experiment.  If  you  happen  to  know  some  piece  almost  accurately,  but  falter  at  certain  parts,  put 
the  cues  of  the  perplexing  portions  upon  the  key  and  your  difficulties  will  vanish.  Not  only  may  the  succes- 
sion of  the  verses  be  known  by  the  prompters,  but  the  succession  of  the  lines;  this  is  effected  by  associating 
the  cue  word  of  each  Hue  with  a  prompter,  either  before  learning  the  lines  or  afterwards  The  following 
examples  will  serve  to  illustrate  the  plan,  but  I  do  not  recommend  its  adoption  for  such  a  piece  as  this,  which 
should  be  learned  for  its  sublimity  ami  not  for  display  of  eccentric  power.  There  are  certain  circumstances, 
however,  under  which  we  are  glad  of  any  plan  which  will  insure  rapidity  of  acquirement  and  accuracy  of 
retention  ;  and  many  people  can  learn  far  more  quickly  when  they  use  the  prompters  in  this  way  than  by 
any  other  method.

When  the  first  suggestive  word  is  the  same  in  two  or  more  lines,  it  should  be  either  used  in  the  first 
instance  only,  or  the  next  suggestive  word  or  idea  in  each  line  should  be  substituted  in  each  case.  When 
you  repeat  a  piece  of  poetry  from  the  Key,  you  should  let  your  mind's  eye  go  to  the  prompter  and  Locality 
of  the  prompter  from  which  you  are  speaking,  and  just  before  you  finish  saying  that  which  goes  with  one 

S'ompter,  think  of  the  next  prompter,  and  in  an  instant  it  will  suggest  that  which  you  have  to  say  next. 
AKK,  you  will  not  find  this  interfere  with  your  delivery,  nor  in  any  way  distract  your  attention  ;  in  fact,  it 
will  increase  your  concentration,  and  will  give  you  confidence.  When  you  have  said  the  piece  several  times 
with  the  prompters,  you  will  find  that  you  cease  to  think  of  them,  and  will  only  see  mentally  the  localities 
in  which  the  verses  or  lines  were  placed,  and  with  increased  practice  you  will  find  the  entire  poem  run  upon 
the  tongue,  without  your  thinking  either  of  the  prompters  or  localities. 

In  using  the  Key  for  prose,  the  first  suggestive  word  or  idea  of  each  chapter,  paragraph  or  sentence, 
should  be  associated  with  a  prompter  as  occasion  may  require.  For  both  poetry  or  prose  never  use  a 
prompter,  simply  for  the  sake  of  using  it ;  and  never  omit  using  one,  simply  for  the  sake  of  doing  without  it. 
To  avoid  the  unnecessary  use  of  a  multiplicity  of  prompters,  the  method  of  making  the  sentences  blend, 
over -lap,  or  dovetail,  may  be  advantageously  employed  mainly,  and  prompters  may  be  used  at  the  same  time 
occasionally  for  a  long  piece  of  ordinary  composition.  With  a  very  difficult  short  piece  of  composition,  into 
which  many  distinct  ideas  are  compressed,  a  prompter  should  be  used  wherever  there  is  a  change  of  thought. 

The  following  are  the  Prompter-points  for

In  committing  to  Memory  hymns,  psalms,  or  chapters  of  the  Bible,  the  verses  should  be  associated 
wWiout  prompters  as  much  as  possible.  When  you  have  learned  a  piece  of  composition,  you  should 
repeat  it  before  it  has  begun  to  fade  from  the  mind,  and  you  should  again  and  again  repeat  it  at  intervals  till 
you  feel  that  you  have  mastered  it  quite,  and  mastered  it  permanently  but;  even  then  you  ought  not  to  trust 
yourself  too  confidently,  as  occasional  repetition  is  generally  found  to  be  necessary  with  even  the  most 
talented.  (See  also  "  STOKES  ON  MEMOKY,  American  Edition.")

Whose  fan  is  in  his  hand 

Cut  off  as  the  foam 

Walking  in  the  midst  of  the  fire 

She  took  of  the  fruit  thereof 

A  great  fish  swallowed  up  Joi  ah 

A  thick  darkness  in  all  the  land 

A  tabret,  and  a  pipe  and  a  harp 

Remove  far  from  me  vanity 

The  moth  shall  eat  them  up 

To  the  moles  and  to  the  bats 

Jawbone  of  an  ass 

Spear  was  like  a  weaver's  beam 

Went  away  with  them,  bar  and  all 

And  toss  thee  like  a  ball 

The  bush  burned  with  fire 

Was  a  thief,  and  had  the  bag 

Burnt  sacrifice 

The  babe  lying  in  a  manger.

THE  FAR-FAMED  FAIRY  TALE  OF  FENELLA. 

(1)  "A  Famous  Fish  Factor  Found  himself  Father  of  Five  Fine  Flirting  Females — Fanny, 
Florence,  Fernanda,  Francesca,  and  Fenella.  (2)  The  First  Four  were  Flat-Featured,  ill- 
Favoured,  Forbidding-Faced,  Freckled  Frumps;  Fretful,  Flippant,  Foolish,  and  Flaunting. 

(3)  Fenella  was  a  Fine-Featured,   Fresh,   Fleet-Footed   Fairy;  Frank,   Free  and  Full  of  Fun. 

(4)  The  Fisher  Failed,  and  was  Forced   by   Fickle  Fortune  to  Forego  his  Footman,  Forfeit  his 
Forefather's  Fine  Fields,   and  Find  a  Forlorn  Farmhouse  in  a  Forsaken  Forest.     (5)  The  Four 
Fretful  Females,  Fond  of  Figuring  at  Feasts  in  Feathers  and  Fashionable  Finery,  Fumed  at 
their  Fugitive  Father.     (6)   Forsaken  by  Fulsome,  Flattering,  For  tune-hunters,  who  Followed 
them  when  Fish  Flourished,  Fenella  Fondled  her  Father,  Flavoured  their  Food,  Forgot  her 
Flattering  Followers,  and  Frolicked  in  Frieze  without  Flounces.     (7)  The  Father,  Finding  him- 
self Forced  to  Forage  in  Foreign  parts  For  a  Fortune,  Found  he  could  afford  a  Fairing  For  his 
Five  Fondlings.     (81  The  First  Four  were  Fain  to  Foster  their  Friv  olity  with  Fine  Frills  and 
Fans,  Fit  to  Finish  their  Father's  Finances  ;  Fenella,  Fearful  of  Flooring  him,  Formed  a  Fancy 
For  a  Full,  Fresh  Flower.     (9)  Fate  Favoured  the  Fish-Factor  For  a  Few  days,  when  he  Fell  in 
wi'th  a  Fog;  his  Faithful  Filly's  Footsteps  Faltered,  and  Food  Failed.     (10)  He  Found  himself 
in  Front  of  a  Fortified  Fortress.    Finding  it  Forsaken,   and  Feeling  himself  Feeble  and  Forlorn 
with    Fasting,  he  Fed  upon  the  Fish,  Flesh,  and  Fowl  he  Found,  Fricasseed  and  Fried  ;  an^ 
when  Full,  Fell  Flat  on  the  Floor.     (11)  Fresh  in  the  Forenoon,  he  Forthwith  Flew  to  the  Fruit- 
ful Fields,  and,  not  Forgetting  Fenella,  he  Filched  a  Fair  Flower;  when  a  Foul,  Frightful, 
Fiendish  Figure  Flashed  Forth,   "Felonious  Fellow !— Fingering  my  Flower— I'll  Finish  you  ! 
Go,   say  Farewell  to  your  Fine,  Felicitous  Family,  and  Face  me  in  a  Fortnight !"     (12)  The 
Faint-hearted   Fisher  Fumed  and  Faltered,  and   Fast  was  Far  in  his  Flight.     (13)  His  Five 
daughters  Flew  to  Fall  at  his  Feet,  and  Fervently  Felicitate  him.     (14)  Frantically  and  Fluently 
he  unfolded  his   Fate.     (15)    Fenella,  JForewith,  Fortified  by  Filial  Fondness,    Followed   her 
Father's  Footsteps,  and  Flung  her  Faultless  Form  at  the  Foot  of  the  Frightful  Figure,  who  For- 
gave the  Father  ,  and  Fell  Flat  on  his  Face;  For  he  had  Fervently  Fallen  in  a  Fiery  Fit  of  love 
For  the  Fair  Fenella.     (16)   He  Feasted  and  Fostered  her,  till,  Fascinated  by  his  Faithfulness 
she  Forgot  the  Ferocity  of  his  Face,  Form   and  Feature;  and  Frankly  and  Fondly  Fixed  Friday 
Fifth  of  February,  For  the  affair  to  come  off.     (17)  There  were  present  at  the  wedding,  Fanny. 
Florence,  Fernanda,  Francesca,  and  the  Fisher.     (18)  There  were  Festivity,  Fragrance,  Finery 
Fireworks,  Fricasseed  Frogs,  Fritters,    Fish,  Flesh,  Fowl  and  Furmenty;  Frontignac,  Flip,  and 
Fare  Fit  For  the  Fastidious;    Fruit,  Fuss,  Flambeaux,  Four  Fat.Fiddlers.'and  Fifers;   and  the 
Frightful  Form  of  the  Fortunate  and  Frumpish  Fiend  Fell  From  him,  and  he  Fell  at  Fenella's 
Feet,  a  Fair-Favoured,  Fine,  Frank  Freeman  of  the  Forest !     (19)   Behold  the  Fruits  of  Filial  af- 
fection !" — Comic  Times.
